rolly850R Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 get the new style one's if you do. dunno if fcp has em, mebbe someone on here can hook a set up.New style? do the newer center caps fit? <completely oblivious to such things>Oh and the other deciding factor is that this may well become my project car - which will mean widebody with RWD or AWD conversion, so I'm better off spending the big bucks on the work wheels at a later stage. and just keep this as a tidy hack car in the mean time.

firepuma Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Those work wheels have to be more expensive then factory units! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly850R Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Those work wheels have to be more expensive then factory units!<sigh> No offense but read the entire thread and you will discover that for me living on the other side of the planet this is not the case.The work wheels are cheaper than buying comets from the dealer here in NZ and only a couple hundred more than me importing them from the US.I live in a small remote country - I have to pay to be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylngle2003 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 def. works, but don't wimp out with only 7.5" wheels...hell, pegs are 8". go at least 8.5 and fill out the fenders, plus get some meaningful tire width under there!

narxs70 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 if your redoing the Volans, paint em black and polish the lip or something. i like the Volans a little better than the Works. BUt Comets are my favorite. what if you bought the rims from a neighboring country and drove to pick them up? would you still have to pay the tax if you drove across the border with them in the back of a truck or your trunk?
